With a warm welcoming smile, and a simple acknowledgement to who I am- although this is our first meeting-Professor Scott Brodeur makes a good first impression. At the University of Massachusetts, Brodeur is making an effort to further the knowledge of college students by teaching a Journalism Convergence class at UMass. By doing so he hopes to influence and inform students of blogging and its important juxtaposition to journalism.
In addition to helping the future of American Journalism, Brodeur is a Managing Editor for Web Site Development at Advance Internet and also the Editor-in-Chief for MassLive.com. Brodeur is also an advocate of blogging as he keeps an up-to-date blog of his own entitled Blog Beat, which is listed on the MassLive website.
Brodeur appears to have a comically witty attitude as he writes about anything ranging from Sports and Music to making comments on cartoon characters like Donald Duck.
If Brodeur's class is anything like the aura of his blog then I am certainly looking forward to it.
